Story
Trooper is a loving dog, but he has some fears. He is scared of going outside and needs a house with a fenced in yard to help him acclimate. He does not like loud noises. He also gets very energetic inside the house and needs to be around children older than 5. He is playful but sometimes too much and does not realize his size when he runs around.

Harper is a mix of Pitt, lab and mini Aussie. She’s high in energy and love cuddles. It pains me to have to let her go but I don’t have much time on my hands to give her the proper attention she needs.

Story
This adorable, spunky, silly girl is heartbroken because she has absolutely zero interest from anyone wanting to adopt her. She has now set the record for the longest dog in our foster program. Pachi has been with us for a year and a half and prior to our rescue she had been in a shelter for several months. Pachi is the cutest little dog with the coolest ears. She is much smaller than she appears in her photos. (Under 30lbs). Pachi is a true gem, and we can't explain how lucky her person will be once they find each other. She's shown incredible growth but needs a home with structure and routine to continue to grow. Pachi finds joy in the simple pleasures of life, like chasing a toy or curling up on the couch and loves to share blueberries and bananas for breakfast with her foster mom. Pachi is most comfortable with women but is open to anyone with a soft side. She would do best with an adult-only home, or with older children. Pachi likes to be the center of attention, so no other pets. She is not a fan of felines. Pachi prefers a home with a fenced in yard to run around in. We know that her person/people are out there, but we need your help to find this deserving girl her much deserved forever home. Please share. We would like Pachi to stay within Central PA or if the perfect home is found we would consider someone further away. “Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling the emptiness we didn’t ever know we had.” - Thom Jones

Story
So many more photos and Video of her playing. She is living at the vet clinic in a kennel all day. Needs a loving home asap.. even a foster. ONLY CALL/TEXT US AT 610-787-2353 or email me for an application. Free to a loving home. IF YOU LEAVE A VM, PLS TELL US YOUR LOCATION NAME ETC. OR EMAIL US AT dawnleemcmahon@gmail.com TO RECEIVE AN ADOPTION APPLICATION (which is required including home check/photos of home etc). FREE TO A LOVING HOME. COLUMBIA, PA - HONEY - 8 MONTH OLD FEMALE SAINT MIX (lab). She is currently living at the Columbia Animal Hospital. They are caring for her, but no place for a puppy to live in a kennel for weeks. They want her to have a yard fenced in to run and play. Honey loves everyone. She is playful and jolly and is DYING TO GET OUT OF THE KENNEL. She is being treated well, but NO PLACE FOR A PUPPY TO BE OVER 21 HOURS A DAY IN A KENNEL. Begging for a good person to adopt or foster. FROM VET: This energetic girl is Honey. She was surrendered to us after her previous owner could no longer care for her. She is approximately 8months old, knows basic commands like sit & shake. She is spayed, vaccinated & microchipped. We believe she is a St. Bernard mix, she is heartworm & lyme negative. She has TONS of puppy energy, and we think she will need someone with a firm hand when it comes to training. HONEY would be great in a home that would love to have a Saint Bernard, but they are just too big etc. She is loving and wants to learn. Loved on and by the staff, but she needs OUT of the kennel and into a home.
